[story][rfc] Fallout from The Gauntlet

[Proginoskes]

I think the answer to "Is Handwavium x, or y, or z?" is generally accepted to be "Yes". My main point is, whatever you hold Handwavium to be, using it to assist spellcasting would inescapably make the spell Quirky. And unless you have either

1. the ability to generate reasonable quantities of mana innately like Doug,
   
2. a planetary binding like a senshi, or
   
3. lots of mana bonds to places you've visited like a WotC Planeswalker,
   

you have to either take things really slowly using a ritual, or use Handwavium to assist.
